Malar, We do get it in India. It's used for horses, that's why you might not have seen in regular grocery stores.

I have found it in Health food stores in Pune - Baapu bhavan. It's a naturopathy institute, the health food store there carried this powder. I used to buy these from there. They might have had seeds, but I don't remember seeing it.

Any health food store might have the powder.

It's called kuthirai masal in Tamil. Look for the seeds in agricultural stores where they sell seeds. A rural agri depot might be better bet than a garden store. It's grown in large volume in Tamilnadu, but alas! we don't know how good these are.

I enjoy reading your explanations as usual; useful information about the protein, vitamin and fiber rich contents in these sprouts and clinical explanation about producing them at home, wow wow wow, I’d have never imagined that there would be this salmonella bacteria risk if handled unproperly, thank you for the informations!
the fried rice looks delicious , these sprouts must be giving a little crunchy muchiness to the fried rice, yummy creation!

How interesting, I’ve never thought about putting alfalfa in my fried rice. I do love both alfalfa and fried rice, so I might give this a try some time.
